About this care
Welcome to SKSG Kameleon BSO, located in the modern, sustainable “Het Knikdak” building at Onnemaheerd 6-1 in Beijum, the greenest district of Groningen. Our brand-new child centre provides after-school care for children aged 4 to 13. We work closely with Dom Helder Camara and Tine Marcus primary schools; our staff either walk the children from school or older kids make their own way to us.
The moment they step inside, children enter a bright central space built around a kitchen island at two different heights. Three dedicated BSO rooms offer quiet corners and challenging zones: a doll corner for the youngest, a STEM corner with science and technology materials for the oldest, and plenty of room for free play. Children decide where, with whom and with what they want to play; our pedagogical professionals guide and stimulate them.
Our activity programme is built on five pillars: Food & cooking, Art & culture, Sport & movement, Science & technology, Nature & sustainability. Together we cook at the large kitchen island, play sports in the garden, run tech projects and go on excursions to the petting zoo, cinema or barefoot path. During holidays we organise extra trips; parents drop off before 10:00 and pick up after 17:00.
Healthy food is part of the deal: on arrival fruit, water and tea are ready; later in the afternoon and around 17:00 the children receive another snack and drink. We ask parents to bring healthy treats for birthdays.
Our building is energy-neutral and sustainable: solar panels, heat pump, sedum roof and natural ventilation. Outside, children climb, scramble and play sports in the award-winning garden and on the adjacent school playground.
BSO Kameleon is open from 07:30-18:00. For 8-13-year-olds we offer the TOP programme (Time for Relaxation and Fun), in which children plan activities independently. We also provide before-school care from 07:30-08:30 and flexible care options.
Children feel safe and at home here: familiar faces, a predictable daily rhythm and space to be themselves. That is what matters most to us.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations

- The safety and health policy is concrete, up to date and is being followed
- The pedagogical policy is being well implemented in practice according to the four pedagogical basic goals
- The content of the pedagogical policy plan is concrete and verifiable
Violations
- On multiple occasions (22 July, 23 July, 24 July, 5 August and 7 August 2026) there was no adult present who was qualified to provide first aid to children
- The procedure in the location guide was insufficiently described (not clear which groups were open on which days) — resolved after recovery offer
Summary
The annual inspection of 4 August 2026 at after-school care (BSO) SKSG Kam eleon in Groningen shows a mixed picture. The location meets the requirements for staff and groups (Certificate of Good Conduct/VOG and personnel register) and has a good safety and health policy. The pedagogical climate is positive: the childcare professionals work in accordance with the pedagogical policy and the four pedagogical basic goals are being followed. However, there were two shortcomings. The procedure in the location guide was insufficiently described, meaning parents and children did not know which groups were open on which days. This has been resolved following a recovery offer. A more serious violation concerns first aid: on multiple occasions in July and August 2026, there was no qualified first aider present. This violation has not been resolved; the staff members concerned did not hold a valid certificate. The provider has enrolled staff members in a first aid course. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
